“Music modulates levels of dopamine in the brain which is a chemical responsible for reward and pleasure. It also modulates serotonin levels and norepinephrine, a stimulant. And in the right combinations, these can give rise to feelings of ecstasy and intense pleasure — almost a sense of being at one with the world.”

I use this drug all the time – and no side effects! Love the painting too!
Thanks Suzy! The painting was a last-minute change of mind. I’m happy to have found it – and happy that you like it
Saw this, great idea but the article is strangely lacking in neuroscientific info. It really doesn’t say anything, other than music moves the emotions. Um…yeah. No shit !
Great image !
Well, we’ll just take the inspiration and run with that then!
Thanks, Diana.
